What I was reading was from here:<br>

"Each Channel has its own dispatch thread"<br>

That isn't meant to imply that there is one thread per channel, though I can see how it could be read that way.<br>
<br>
Consumer processing happens on the threads in the Consumer thread pool See <a href="http://www.rabbitmq.com/api-guide.html#consumer-thread-pool" target="_blank">www.rabbitmq.com/api-guide.<u></u>html#consumer-thread-pool</a>. But processing is constrained s.t. all messages arriving on a channel are processed serially, i.e. at any point in time at most one thread in the pool is processing consumer work for a given channel.<br>

I am cc'ing my colleague Steve, who may be able to shed more light on this and what he meant by "dispatch thread" above.</blockquote><div><br></div><div>I understand, thanks for the clarification. It was just the wording of the docs led me to believe there was a separate thread per channel in addition to the consumer threadpool. Glad to know there is not!</div>
